CMS Version Monitor
Automatic update detection for your CMS
Automatically monitor the installed CMS version of your website and get instantly notified when updates are available. Supports TYPO3 and WordPress with configurable notification thresholds.
Why CMS Version Monitor?
Outdated CMS versions are a security risk. Keeping track of all websites manually is time-consuming – especially as an agency with many client projects. The CMS Version Monitor automatically checks whether updates are available and notifies you immediately.
Automatic Detection
The monitor regularly queries the configured version endpoint and compares the installed version with the latest available version. Fully automated, without any manual effort.
TYPO3 & WordPress
Full support for TYPO3 and WordPress. For TYPO3, you can additionally configure whether you want to be notified about bugfix, minor, or only major updates.
Instant Notification
As soon as an update is detected, you receive an email notification with the installed and available version. This allows you to act immediately.
Features in Detail
Configurable Version Endpoint
Specify the path to the version endpoint of your website. This makes it work flexibly with different CMS configurations and custom endpoint paths.
Notification Level for TYPO3
For TYPO3, choose which update type you want to be notified about – Bugfix (e.g. 12.4.1 → 12.4.2), Minor (e.g. 12.3 → 12.4), or Major (e.g. 12 → 13). This way you only receive alerts relevant to you.
Basic Authentication
For protected version endpoints, optionally enable Basic Authentication with username and password. This allows the monitor to work with secured staging or production environments.
Monitor List with Update Badge
The overview list shows the currently installed version, the latest available version, and – when an update is available – a prominent update badge for each monitor. See at a glance where action is needed.
Manual Check
In addition to automatic monitoring, you can trigger an immediate check at any time with a single click – useful when you want to see the new status immediately after an update.
Edit Settings
All configurations – name, URL, CMS type, endpoint path, notification level, and authentication – can be adjusted at any time without having to recreate the monitor.
How It Works
Create Monitor
Enter a name, the website URL, and the CMS type (TYPO3 or WordPress). Optionally configure the version endpoint path, the notification level (TYPO3 only), and Basic Authentication.
Automatic Monitoring
The monitor regularly checks the version endpoint and compares the installed version with the latest available version. The process runs completely in the background.
Receive Update Notification
As soon as an update matching your configured notification level is detected, you receive an email with the installed and the latest version. The dashboard shows the update status at a glance.
Technical Details
Version Endpoint
The monitor queries the configured endpoint and reads the installed version. The response is compared with the official version data of the respective CMS.
Semantic Version Check
Versions are compared semantically (Major, Minor, Bugfix). For TYPO3 you can precisely control at which level a notification is triggered.
Secure Authentication
Basic Authentication is securely transmitted and stored. This allows even protected endpoints to be monitored without risk.
Choose Your Plan
All plans include access to all monitoring features. The difference lies in the number of monthly tokens and maximum monitors.
